Texas Roadhouse sirloin is the chain’s leanest hand-cut steak and its cheapest entry into the steak section. The 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin lists at $16.99 with 250 calories, comes with two sides, and steps up in 8, 11 and 16 oz portions at most locations.
What the sirloin actually is
The sirloin is a lean, hand-cut top sirloin steak trimmed in-house and grilled over an open flame, described on the menu as lean, juicy beef at exceptional value. It is the least marbled steak on the board, which is why it costs less than the ribeye or filet.
Every Texas Roadhouse cuts its steaks in the restaurant rather than receiving pre-portioned vacuum packs, so thickness varies slightly from plate to plate. A 6 oz sirloin is usually cut thinner and wider than a 6 oz filet of the same weight, which matters more than most people expect: a thinner steak overshoots your requested doneness faster on a hot grill.

Sirloin prices by size
The 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin is the verified price anchor at $16.99. Larger portions climb from there, but Texas Roadhouse prices are set regionally, so the 8, 11 and 16 oz figures below are the realistic ranges seen across locations rather than one fixed national price.
| Size | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz | $16.99 (listed) | Cheapest steak entree on the menu |
| 8 oz | Roughly $18 to $21 | The value sweet spot for most appetites |
| 11 oz | Roughly $21 to $25 | Thicker cut, easier to hold a true medium rare |
| 16 oz | Roughly $26 to $31 | Often priced near a smaller ribeye |
| 6 oz Sirloin + Ribs combo | $22.99 (listed) | Half-slab ribs added to the 6 oz |
To confirm the exact price where you are eating, pull up your specific store page on the official site or the app and check the local menu, since two restaurants forty miles apart can differ by a couple of dollars on the same cut.
Calories and nutrition
The 6 oz sirloin is 250 calories for the steak alone, which makes it one of the lightest full entrees in the building. That number counts only the meat and seasoning, not the two sides, the rolls, or any topper you add.
Larger sirloins scale roughly with weight, so an 8 oz lands near 330 calories and an 11 oz near 450, though only the printed in-store nutrition guide or the chain’s published nutrition sheet gives the exact figures per size. The real calorie decisions happen after the steak:
- Two rolls with cinnamon butter add around 460 calories before you touch the entree.
- A loaded baked potato or steak fries can add more calories than the sirloin itself.
- Green beans, fresh vegetables or applesauce keep the plate closest to the 250-calorie base.
- Jack cheese, gravy or sauteed mushroom toppers add on top of the listed steak calories.
If you are tracking closely, ask for the nutrition guide at the host stand. Servers can also pull the current numbers, since recipe updates are not always reflected on third-party calorie sites.
How to order it: doneness and seasoning
Order a sirloin one step under what you would order for a ribeye. Because it is lean and often thin, it carries very little fat to protect it, and a sirloin cooked medium well is noticeably tougher than a ribeye at the same temperature.
| Doneness | Center | Verdict on sirloin |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | Cool red | Works on 11 oz and up only |
| Medium rare | Warm red | Best all-round choice |
| Medium | Hot pink | Safe pick if you dislike red meat |
| Medium well | Slight pink | Starts getting chewy |
| Well done | No pink | Order the chopped steak or ribs instead |
Two requests worth making out loud. First, ask for light seasoning if you are watching sodium, because the house rub is applied generously. Second, if you want a thicker steak for the same money, ask which sirloin sizes the kitchen is cutting that night; a thicker 8 oz will hold a pink center far better than a wide, flat 6 oz.
What comes with it: two sides and rolls
Every sirloin entree includes two sides, and dine-in guests get unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter at no charge. Sides ordered separately run about $2.99 each, so the two included sides are a real part of the value, not a garnish.
Practical pairings for a lean steak: seasoned rice or mashed potatoes soak up juices, green beans keep the plate light, and a house salad counts as one of your two sides at most locations. Loading a baked potato usually adds about $1.29. If you want the steak to feel bigger, order sauteed mushrooms and onions as a topper rather than upgrading to the next size, which is often the cheaper move.
Sirloin combos and toppers
The 6 oz sirloin also anchors several combo plates, which is where it earns its keep on the menu. The listed 6 oz Sirloin with Ribs runs $22.99 and pairs the steak with a portion of the fall-off-the-bone ribs. Locations commonly offer sirloin paired with grilled shrimp or with chicken critters too, though combo lineups differ by store.
Sirloin also shows up inside other entrees. The Steak Kabob at $19.99 is marinated sirloin skewered with vegetables over seasoned rice, and the Beef Tips at $17.49 are sirloin cuts in brown gravy with mushrooms and onions. If you like the flavor but want more food for the money, those two dishes stretch the same cut further.
Is the sirloin worth it vs the filet and ribeye?
Yes, if value per dollar matters more than tenderness. At $16.99 the 6 oz sirloin costs $10 less than the 6 oz Dallas Filet at $26.99, and the filet only carries 20 more calories at 270. You are paying that gap purely for texture, not portion size.
Where the sirloin loses is chew. The filet is the most tender steak on the menu and the ribeye brings the most fat and flavor. The sirloin sits below both on richness but beats them on price and on how clean it eats. A fair way to decide: order sirloin when you want a steak plus two sides under $20, order the filet when the meal is the occasion, and order the ribeye when you actually want the fat.
What we cannot confirm
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant. Texas Roadhouse is franchised and company-operated across different markets, and several things genuinely differ store to store:
- Exact prices above the 6 oz. Only the $16.99 6 oz and $22.99 sirloin-and-ribs combo are verified listings. The 8, 11 and 16 oz figures are observed ranges.
- Which sizes are available. Not every location cuts all four sirloin portions every night.
- Combo lineups and toppers. Availability and upcharges vary, including whether sirloin combos with shrimp or chicken appear on your local menu.
- Calories by size. Only the 6 oz figure of 250 is confirmed here; the rest are estimates from portion weight.
Confirm anything price-sensitive by checking your store’s menu in the official app or calling ahead. We update this page as location menus change.
